Has anyone here had *direct* experience with the Banshee X Server that's posted at
SuSE's update site? Perhaps you could direct me to someone who has...
I'm having some real problems with my frame buffer device (maybe it's just because
I'm an idiot), and there are other factors. One problem is that every time I go back
into Windows, it takes two or three reboots for Win to get my video setup right
(starts in VGA, I remove the graphics adapter; starts in svga, I load the Banshee
driver; in order to complete the new hardware settings, must reboot; and so on and
so forth).
Maybe if I get my XServer running, I can use Wine or VMWare and junk my Windows
installation altogether. I grow tired of all of this dual-boot nonsense, but I don't
have much choice. Linux, sadly, is still considered a novelty in the end user realm.
Yes, it's a good platform, yes, there are all sorts of databases and what not being
ported/released to/for Linux, and yes, installation is becoming simpler for the end
user. The problem remains that I still need Windows and DirectX 5 to play MotoRacer
and Need for Speed III ;).
Enough ramblings for one message. Perhaps you could pass this little commentary to
all of the budding game developers that you know, and we'll get ahead.
Thanks in advance,
